There’s been a lot of buzz on our Facebook page recently — one hot topic in particular is about offering OSB instead of Plywood. People might say, “How dare you use that cheap stuff?”

But the question is, is OSB actually worse than Plywood? Or are they even that different at all?

Back in the old days, particle board was not good, so we know where everyone’s coming from with their argument. But the truth is, it’s really improved over the years, and today, OSB actually can get the job done just as well.

One of the main differences between OSB and plywood is really the price.

That’s why we offer both options, and in the end, we’re proud to make the best recommendation for you, your job, and your budget… and make sure the job gets done right.

Let’s face it… Winter is coming. As Danny Neaverth puts it during Steve’s interview with him on WNY Living, the weather in Buffalo can be unpredictable (to say the least!) So the question is, is your roof ready to handle the harsh winter?

Now is the most important time to make sure that your home is properly protected before that harsh weather really kicks in. Even if it’s just a small problem now, those problems can amplify when the winter hits. If it’s an issue you’re suspecting, it’s so important to act on it now before it’s too late!

What is with these black streaks appearing on roofs in Western New York?!

No, it’s not dirt. It’s not defective shingles. It’s actually blue-green algae that grows on the north side of your roof, where the sun hits less and where moisture hangs around. The algae feeds on part of the filler in your shingles, making your roof a great home for them.

When it comes to roofing, not all jobs are the same. Each job presents its own difficulties; some more than others. As we look through our extensive catalog of jobs completed, two roofs in particular stand out: East Aurora House and West Utica House. These houses were especially difficult because of the unique shapes and angles.

When it comes to roofs, minor issues can cause major problems. It is often the leak you are unaware of that causes the most damage—rotting out rafters or even walls. Identifying these problems is essential for proper roof maintenance.
